A recent case of fraud in India, where a civil contractor lost a significant amount of money, has attracted local authorities' and public attention.

How the Scam Happened

A man named Ramesh connected with a scammer posing as a potential bride on a matrimonial site. The conversations with the scammer named Priyanka began on April 11 through WhatsApp.

Methods of Deception

The scammer claimed to be working at a cryptocurrency trading company based in Singapore. She convinced Ramesh to invest through the trading app and promised high returns. Initially, he transferred INR 50,000 and made a profit of INR 8,300, leading him to invest larger sums.

Police Investigation

When Ramesh attempted to cash out his earnings, the app locked his wallet. The scammer then demanded an additional payment, which he refused. Ramesh reported the incident to the police, leading to a case being registered. Authorities are currently investigating related bank accounts and mobile numbers.

This case serves as a reminder of the growing threats of fraud on social media platforms. Police urge users to stay vigilant and cautious.
